I thought of this song for each of my children several times in the past week.
...
So I will pray this Prayer again.
Thank you God for Sara Groves that gives me the words and the reminder.

Prayer for This Child
by Sara Groves
I do not know how I am to pray for this child
as a mother I don't want my baby denied
but in the waiting in the waiting
I learned to hold onto the heart of God

every instinct in me wants to shield him from pain
take the arrows of misery heartache and blame
but in the sorrow in the sorrow
I learned to hold onto the heart of God

I only have two eyes - The all seeing
I only have two hands - The everywhere
I do not know enough - The all knowing
I give my babies up into your care

I do not know how I am to pray for this child
I want to guard him from everything wicked and wild
but in the trial in the trial
I learned to hold on
...
And in the trial, in your trials
You’ll learn to hold on to the heart of God
